Social Reach and influence

Social Referrals & InﬂuenceByJ.G. ArcherReferrals have been a signiﬁcant means to getting jobs before social networks, emails and even fax’s.Most of the jobs I’ve ever had, have been through referrals.Through referrals ‘everyday’ people have been connecting other people to positions for generations.When we refer people:• We offer a ‘tip of the hat’ to our connections• An inside line on the hiring process.• We are responsible in our actions.• We want to help.• We want our actions to be appreciated.We want to help, a bit, a little, maybe more, perhaps a lot, but not too much.In reality we want people to make it easy for us on both sides.In most cases we literally want to ‘tip the hat’ and be done with it.Referrals come with the best intentions,We hope everything works out ﬁne.The following pages will show you my ﬁndings in social reach and inﬂuence and a few tips.Followed by short presentation of: SocialReferral.com“Referral recruitment for the social age”A platform centered on the people who make referrals thats allows for greater reach and inﬂuence.If you’d like further reading, reference materials or links please ask.by J.G.

Social Inﬂuence: extend beyond my connections w @ Work o In Life My Interests r k L i f eThe people I inﬂuenceare from a diverse set of s ts relife experiences that are teunique to me. InThey, in turn, inﬂuencetheir own uniqueconnections. More connections does NOT ensure more inﬂuence. Our inﬂuence is driven by homophily (often described as ‘birds of a feather ﬂock together’). The people in our groups of inﬂuence change based on our experiences and extend way beyond professional connections. Tip: Invite everyone that’s had a positive experience with you and make it clear easy for them to share your message. by J.G. Archer ! http://nl.linkedin.com/in/jgarcher

Direct Corporate Inﬂuence By and large people share feelings not facts. If making a referral feels like ﬁlling out and expenses form then it’s not helping anyone. Making a real effort is necessary to engage more then just your brand advocates. Tip: Survey previous referrers and supportive connections on what they think, and how it could be improved. by J.G.
